About El mar muerto
There is a blackout in Mexico City. In the darkness some people are abandoned by God (their conscience) and commit a transgression (murder and infidelity). When the lights come on, conscious of what they have done, they must atone for their sin.
Directed by Ignacio Ortiz, El mar muerto leans on a strong ensemble — Joaquín Cosío, Aida López, Ana Ofelia Murguía — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2013.
